Tourist Information About Franz Josef

In Franz Josef, you’ll find all kinds of outdoor fun, from peaceful to heart-pumping. One of the most popular things to do is heli-hiking. A short helicopter ride takes you up to the glacier, where guides help you explore the icy landscape with spikes on your boots. If you’d rather stay low, there are quad biking tours that take you through muddy forest tracks and across old riverbeds. Kayaking on Lake Mapourika is another great way to take in the views. The calm water reflects the surrounding mountains and rainforest, making it a quiet and relaxing option.

For something unique, the Tatare Tunnels walk leads you through old mining tunnels where you might spot glowworms lighting up the darkness. If you’re feeling bold, you can go bungee jumping, skydiving, or jet boating through narrow gorges. After all the action, the Glacier Hot Pools are the perfect place to unwind. Soak in the warm water while surrounded by native bush.
